    I had a similar revalation with my target mandarin a few weeks ago. I feed brine shrimp about twice a week and have been doing it for a few months. I have had my mandarin for about six months and my pod population was able to keep it well fed. However one day when target feeding some of my corals with the mandarin near by I noticed he was eating some brine shrimp and I was extremely happy. Very good wrtie up.

    Thanks Aaron. My goal is to get my mandarin to eat brine and mysis. I'm thinking of trying live brine and then slowly introducing fozen. I haven't had luck in the past with live brine, but who knows, she might come around now that she has begun to eat the blood worms.

    Has anyone else had any luck with other foods?
